Did Eric Holder Lie to Congress?

On May 15, Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee and said this about the Justice Department’s investigation of national security leaks to journalists.

“In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material: This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.”

Except it turns out that Holder not only heard about the potential prosecution of the press, he personally approved it. After he testified NBC News broke the story that Holder had personally signed off on a search warrant to go after the phone and email records of James Rosen, the Fox news reporter. The warrant accused Rosen of conspiring to publish classified material that allegedly was leaked to him for a story about North Korea.

So what should we make of Eric Holder’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee? Did he simply forget that he was the one who approved the request for a warrant to check Rosen’s phone records and personal emails? Did he sign off on the warrant request but wasn’t really paying attention to what he was signing?

Anything, I guess, is possible – including this, which I think is much more likely: Eric Holder lied to Congress, which is a federal offense. He certainly didn’t tell the truth.

And since the president himself has said, “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” the obvious question arises: Will Eric Holder be forced to resign?

I’m saying, don’t bet on it.

For a scandal to take off and have serious political consequences it has to enter the bloodstream of the general population. It can’t simply be something that news junkies and political partisans in Congress care about.

So Holder will need to become a running gag on late night comedy shows. He will have to be a recurring theme on Jon Stewart’s show. And the question of whether the Attorney General of the United States – the highest-ranking legal officer in America – lied to Congress will need to become a running story on the network evening newscasts, where some 20 million people get their news.

Only then will it truly become a scandal with political consequences. And if all of that happens Eric Holder will have to go.

But what if this current outrage by reporters who see Holder’s actions as a threat to press freedom turns out to be nothing more than a lover’s spat between the press and the Obama administration — and soon goes away? What if the storyline changes from “Attorney General threatens First Amendment” to “Republicans use so-called press scandal to score political points”?

Remember, too many journalists are still too cozy with this president, whom they genuinely like and respect and in whom they have so much invested. His values are their values. His liberalism is their liberalism. As Rush Limbaugh says, they are one in the same.

One more thing: How much did the Obama administrations war on Fox News play into Eric Holder’s decision to go after James Rosen? The president and his political cronies have tried their best to convince the American people that Fox is not a legitimate news organization; that’s it’s nothing more than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the national Republican Party.

I possess no smoking gun memo from the president that says, “Go after Rosen and bring down Fox News.” That’s not how politics works in the post-Watergate era. But is it such a leap to connect a few dots and come to the conclusion that if the president, who is especially thin-skinned, detests Fox … that his attorney general might try to hurt one of its top reporters? Even accuse him of espionage?

Just because it’s crazy doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Bernie's Next Column.

Enter your email and find out first.

The pushback now is that he didn’t lie because he referenced “prosecution” and since he never intended to prosecute (but only investigate who was purportedly giving Rosen information), then he didn’t lie. Of course, his statement, though true, is at the very least absolutely misleading. If you ask someone if he is breaking into and rummaging through cars, and he answers, “Stealing cars is not something I’ve ever been involved in,” then you come away with the impression that he is not the guilty party. Of course, Congress wasn’t asking (solely) about prosecution but about investigating a journalist. Holder needs to go.

wally12

Holder hasn’t lied. In his mind there is no such thing. Remember that Holder was asked what is the definition of a lie. As I recall he said it was a “state of mind”. Doesn’t that mean that anything that Holder says is made up in his mind? End of story and guilty as charged.

plsilverman

presumed guilty! hehehe

wally12

So you agree with Holder’s definition of a lie that it is a state of mind?

Wil

Bernie, Do you have the same empathy for Julian Assange, as you do for James Rosen?

Jeff Webb

Go away, and take your pathetic attempt at moral equivalence with you.

plsilverman

you guys are the ones always saying, if a Lib’ misbehaved in the past, then the same behavior by a GOP should be completely overlooked. All that “gimme a break” stuff.

Lori Toupal

I’m betting he does, actually. What happened then was just as bad and unconstitutional as what Holder did. The point is, did Holder lie to Congress? Yes, it’s unequivocal, he most assuredly did.

Wil

What lie is Holder guilty of?

Lori Toupal

I love trolls. LOL Okay, I’ll play along. He’s either guilty of a: lying to Congress when he said he’d never heard of investigating journalists for possible espionage in leak investigations (paraphrased) or b: he lied to the judge when he asked for a search warrant due to possible espionage on the part of the Fox reporter. One way or the other, he lied. You can’t say he didn’t know or had never heard of such a thing when he, himself, signed off on the search warrant request and you can say he didn’t intend to actually go after the reporter for criminal misconduct if that’s what he used as a reason for the search warrant. HE LIED, there’s simply no way around it.

Wil

What were the exact words Holder said in the congressional hearing. Do you know?

Lori Toupal

I can look them up. I’ve listened to them multiple times, but can’t quote them word for word. However, you can play ‘dumb’ and pretend he didn’t lie because he never ‘intended’ to prosecute. Okay, well at the very least he played word games and misled Congress, which is pretty much the same thing as lying. Plus, if he didn’t intend to prosecute, then he lied to the judge when he went to court and claimed they were investigating the FOX reporter for possible espionage and that he was a flight risk. Obviously, that was intended to tell the judge that they were seriously considering charging him with espionage. So, while they may have been playing with words again, they basically lied to the judge as well. You can play with words all day long but if the intent is to deceive then you are LYING. Anyone who doesn’t understand that needs help with their basic character.

Drew Page

Lori — You will never convince Wil or Phil Silverman that anyone in the Obama administration ever lied or did anything wrong. They will continue to deny, deny, deny. and you are correct in your assessment, they are trolls.

Lori Toupal

I know, Drew. I’m sure they’re on welfare and being paid to spend their days going on conservative websites and conservative stories/posts to stir things up and attempt to make anyone who disagrees with them sound wrong. They probably have a book of responses they use. I just love to play with the animals sometimes. lol

Drew Page

Rosen didn’t publish anything that put Americans at risk. If you want to prosecute someone, start with the person(s) who allegedly leaked the information to Rosen. Assange published information that put American lives at risk.

DonaldYoungsRevenge

Bottom line Bernie, if the Demcrats were holding the hearings and it were a Republican AG, he would have been long gone. The Republicans have never been able to complete an investigation.
Did Obama LIE about his birth certificate, that should be the bigger question? His April 27th, 2011 presentation of a birth document was a forgery. Has Obama been guilty of using a fraudulent SS#, E-Veriy thnks so? Did Obama fraudulently register with the Selective Service in 2008, the evidence is pretty substantial that he did. These are much more serioius charges. If it is all true than this President has been using fraudulent documents to remain in office while we were involved in two wars. If this were back in the days of World War II he would be facing the death penalty,.

Wil

Bernie, Rosen
wasn’t charged. In truth, the government never really intended to charge him.
They just needed a judge to agree that Rosen probably violated the Espionage Act
so that they could get their warrant to read his emails, as part of their real
investigation into his source, an intelligence analyst named Richard Kim. It
worked. That’s the so-called scandal!

Lori Toupal

Well, if that’s true, Wil, then Holder lied to the Judge, didn’t he? One way or the other, he should lose his law license and his job.

plsilverman

really? read up on the Reagan cabinet. The Pentagon scandal under RR. the “Beirut 241″. planning a trip to a Nazi gravesite. Read up about the Bush II slam dunkers actions’ prior to the Cheney-produced conflict in Iraq.

You seem to be irrational, bitter and angry…Hope you overcome these conditions as soon as possible..

Wil

Remember when Bush
attorney general Alberto Gonzales’ threat to prosecute New York Times reporters
for revealing
the existence of a massive NSA eavesdropping operation was a terrific
idea.

Wheels55

This proves that elected politicians hold a lot of power that can be used to further their political agendas and careers. This is why the liberal press does us more disservice than these politicians. Americans need to know when the folks in power abuse that power.
I will say repeated comparisons to Bush has gotten very old. Yeah, we know he was not the best President ever, but he is long gone from office. Referring to him so often is like saying “Oh yeah? George did this so Obama has a green light.” Like that makes what Obama and his gang are doing is OK.

Wil

You people didn’t do any complaining when Bush was wreaking our country. I wonder why?

lemonfemale

He wasn’t. That’s why. At least to the people who weren’t complaining. Whoever “you people” are because obviously you aren’t counting all the conservatives who did complain about him. The above comment is as fact free as anything about “you people.” IMO

Wheels55

There was a lot of complaining when Bush was in office. But he isn’t now. And, even if Bush did do wrong, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Obama’s promise to be transparent was a complete lie. What do “YOU PEOPLE” think about that? You happy that Obama and gang know nothing about anything negative going on?

Lori Toupal

I complained, as did a lot of people. If you hated Bush so badly, then why did you idiots reelect a President who has repeated many of Bush’s mistakes and even more? Enough with the excuse that a Republican President did it, so it’s okay that the Democrat does it. NO, it wasn’t okay then and it isn’t okay now. Remember, eventually there will be a Republican President again. Do you want them going after you and yours because you’re Liberals? We need to stomp down on this unconstitutional, powermongering behavior now, or it will just continue to get worse, from one out of control Administration to the next, until we have a dictatorship.

Paul Courtney

Sure I remember, Gonzalez not top Ag by any stretch. We also remember that a top AG, John Ashcroft, very honorable guy (hero to you folks when he supposedly stood up to Cheney from his hospital bed) was hounded out of office by the likes of you. We also remember NYT responsible for saving Bin Laden’s life (don’t blame Bush, they let him know his cell phone was tracked in ’99) and other leaks, real damage done. Still, even Gonzalez not so foolish as to seize phone records like this. You guys just don’t get it-if Holder gets away with this, it’s a matter of time before the Rs are in with precedent set. That what you want?

Neal from PA

What do I think of Obama and his administration after the Benghazi cover-up and the news about the IRS; the AP and Fox News phone records scandals are reminiscent of Richard Nixon. I recall how outraged liberals were over Watergate and about Nixon’s infamous enemies list. However no one died in the Nixon scandals.

So…what do I think…Obama has proven that my gut feelings about him and his administration were true from the first time I heard him speak as a 2004
keynote speaker at the Democrat convention? I have always believed that Obama is nothing more than a conman, doing what conmen do…LIE…for without lies a conman is nothing and has nothing to offer.

His political experience (with the help from MSM, making sure the un-informed
stayed un-informed), a cakewalk; has positioned him to destroy the Constitution and the Democrat Party’s hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party; or his swearing to defend and protect the Constitution of these United States of America. It was always about his Communist/Marxist/Socialist ideology, learned at an early age from family,
mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.

Both the president’s chief of staff Denis McDonough and his chief counsel Kathy Ruemmler knew in mid-April that an IRS Inspector General’s report critical of the way the agency handled conservative applications was due out any day. But they chose not to tell the president — or that’s the official story anyway. If true, then Obama is no more than a puppet of his handlers. But either way Obama has plausible deniability, because they all will lie. However, in any case he should be held accountable; after all isn’t he the President… and should bear the “ultimate responsibility” for the actions of his subordinates.

Randy

If Holder didn’t lie to congress, then he lied on the affidavit to the judge. And if he didn’t lie to the judge in his warrant affidavit, then he did lie to congress. Also, I thought it illegal to judge shop a search warrant request. But since the Obama administration has been having their cake and eating it too, I doubt much will come of this. Unless the press decides to stop ogling the beauty queen administration and start doing their jobs. I never mind it when they give a republican a hard time, they are keeping them honest. I do wish they would do their jobs here. This is possibly the most dangerous time for our country in living memory. The danger so insidious. No way a Bush or McCain or Romney administration skates along like this. No way.

I think the MSM knows Holder is hurting Obama and they’ll call for his head for no other reason than they don’t want to see Obama’s 2nd term agenda suffer.

Wheels55

If Holder goes now, the 2014 mid-term elections probably will not be so negative for Democrats. Obama wants control of the House and will sacrifice Holder and anyone in the IRS to get it.

EddieD_Boston

Exactly. Great minds think alike.

John

The oath of office has the words “support AND defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC” {emphasis mine}. So to extrapolate When Eric Holder lied to Congress it wasn’t anything new…He did the same during his last oath ceremony as AG…My opinion, it wasn’t the first time either, every time the man opens his mouth he lies!!!!. This one is provably, therefore in most jurisdictions all past decisions become suspect such as a crime lab technician deliberately falsifying DNA data. All previous cases that individual worked on must be reviewed for accuracy. By lying to Congress Eric Holder has called into question any decision that he has been associated with and by my definition HE has become a domestic enemy of the United States.

plsilverman

how do you KNOW they are “frauds”? because you wish they were: wants some FACTS, or what the KOchs & Roger Ailes wants U to believe? Here we go: birth cert. may look fake but it’s a fact Obama was born in Hawaii – I know personally someone who was friends and co-worker with Sr. Obama and was there with Sr. Obama, in the USA, when he got a message that he now was Father of a son named Barack, born in Hawaii. Soc. sec. #: he received the number erroneously given to a Connecticut resident. the Conn. resident already HAD oen and Barack legally got HIS additional number. Selective Service reg. ok. never heard of THAT one..enlighten us. By the way, Orly Taitz went to 30 judges who told her to leave their Court with her “case” against Obama. She is considered, politically speaking, so nuts, so far right, that even O’Reilly refuses to have her on his show.

Joh

The idea that someone from the Clinton fold would redefine words like “is” is so true to form it’s ridiculous. The endless string of Obama associates who can’t remember of don’t know is a disgrace. If a Republican claimed to be that absent minded or stupid, the media would be crucifying them

allen goldberg

Depends upon whether you mean telling the truth…because the word truth has no place in this administration..so lying is just what they do…they have no regard, respect or even a tacit understanding of the Constitution, ethics or even how to perform their jobs…they are low-life liars by stock and trade and hate this country.

DonaldYoungsRevenge

Was he sworn in, that should be the question? They did not swear in Hillary Clinton when she was questioned about Benghazi. Republicans are brain dead when it comes to investigations and if they did’t swear in Holder it proves my point. If he was sworn in he lied under oath and isn’t that a crime deserving of a punishment more than forced resignation for crying out loud. Didn’t they swear the baseball players in before they gave their testimonies DOJ? The more I watch this scandal the more the scandal seems to involve those conducting the investigation. Good god almighty, this should make you puke.

Why? Because he mentioned whites? Joepotato mentions in passing Holder’s ethnicity but draws no conclusions therefrom. Holder is not fascist because he is black. In sum, I don’t see the racially charged here.

I’m no “queen”..sorry to disappoint you. I guess since Biden made that statement (“articulate”, etc.) way back when, then all “racially charged” statements from the extreme right should be dismissed. but what does “evil white guys” mean, in “joepotato”s post? gotta ask Joe, I guess.
I say Biden was referring to Obama’s age (46-47 at the time), not his ethnicity. Knowing that whatever is in his head and heart, he has been pro-minority his entire life.

and we’ll *see* if Bachman is seen at Sears picking out an orange Summer suit.

I thought bullying was out of fashion…Oh I guess except for Chicago bullies…
“Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power”.

Time for the special prosecutor. If this was a Repub Presidents admin. the lamestream media would be going ape, calling the President all kinds of names & screaming for his head.

Drew Page

A special prosecutor is just what Obama and Holder are hoping for. The administration would clam up saying “we can’t comment because of the ongoing investigation”. Who would get to pick the “special” prosecutor, Mr. Holder, Mr. Obama, or Jay Carney (the Artful Dodger)? And while the “special” prosecutor was gathering evidence and being stone walled for months, the story quickly fades from the headlines and six to 12 months from now, it’s old news and nobody cares any more. Let the committee continue its investigation and subpoena those “rogue” IRS functionaries from the Cincinnati IRS office, question them under oath and giving them immunity if necessary to find out if they were told to target conservative groups seeking tax exempt status with audits or unusual questioning and/or delays in granting such approvals. Let’s see how far up the chain of command this wrong doing goes.

When an American President chose to parse the verb; ‘to be’, “…what is is…”, we have witnessed the value of language plummet. The simplest of terms would lead Roget into tail-spin. Thus “(sic) would suggest researching in depth – and maybe loft. So how should we parse the verb “lie” or even the noun “lie”. In an administration that gained its ground by rhetoric alone (as only on rhetoric sans virtue), should we not just judge an attorney generals words as mere art or temporary means.
Orwell opined; “In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth will be an revolutionary act.” Perhaps we can paraphrase…’how we value the truth might be a revolutionary factor.’

…..moving on to Benghazi, since no one is telling us where Obama was during the Benghazi terror attack we can rightfully assume that he ordered the “stand down” and went to bed in the middle of that terror attack. I don’t think this is conjecture and I think many believe that is exactly what happened. We could also conclude the he may have been smoking crack cocaine with Reggie Love, nothing is out of bounds when the idiots refuse to tell us the facts. Where was Reggie Love on the night of the terror attack?

You gotta admit this is the most ridiculous defense any politician in the history of politics has ever tried to pass off….

I would like Bernie to go back to the first emergence of Obama as a senator and read the statements he has made and determine if they were the truth or lies. I would also like to see the times he condemned the Republicans for something he later did himself. His rips into Romney were usually unabashed lies, none of them challenged by the liberal media.

Romney never lied about Obama…except for instance when he said that he would remove the work requirement from Welfare..and oh yeah, Jeep was now 100% produced overseas.

If those are true, and coming from you, I am suspicious, they are pretty tame compared to the lies Obama told or allowed to stand in pac lies on Romney. Obama will always be suspect when he opens his mouth. He has sold his soul to the lie.

Little doubt Holder and Obama lie as a matter of course. But he’s not going to prosecute himself and Holder and Obama are like two peas in a pod. Also in that pod are most members of the media who think it’s OK to go after Fox — a major competitor and owner of the Right. They think it’s OK to go after conservatives with the IRS. Also in that pod is the entire educational, entertainment and most of the government-sponsored and financed non-profit industries. Obama will stay, Holder will stay, and maybe run for Prexy as Obama’s proxy if Michelle can’t and if Obama doesn’t change the law to run or remain.

You know, the healthcare plan the majority of Americans don’t want and which is laughably titled the Afforadable Care Act, even though it is causing premiums to increase upwards of 100% (see CA).

And please stop the foolish Roger Ailes/Faux News references. They make you look silly. Over the last few months or so Fox has actually been practicing journalism and is leaving their competition in their dust.

You seem so smug but the reality is you’re just another clueless liberal. If mommy let you out of the house after the streetlights went on you might not have the worldliness of a 13 year old.

plsilverman

monstrosity? ya mean the one that allowed insurers to deny coverage to cancer patients for mercenary reasons? to make you and me pay a grand extra per year to cover the uncovered? to allow insurers to boost premiums 40+% overnite, no explanations? by the way, AFCA was very much based upon Romneycare and the 1993 Republican Hillary alternative.

I was a registered Republican until I moved to CA in 2009, at age 58.

I give Bush II credit for very little related to the middle east: he and his mentor Cheney slept thru official warnings of 9-11. and Cheney produced the Iraq war. Afghanistan made sense…but when we got too close to getting BL – whose family regularly partied with the Bushes – well, we switched to Iraq. Yes, “30 million Arab women”……….I said the A. war was justified. BUt also remember, he started clearly he was against Nation Building. But since he let his VP play commander-in-chief., well.

Holder and Obama are the results of a concerted effort by elements that want to destroy this country.We were hoodwinked by the msm into believing that Obama was the new face of politic’s. Well when the mask came off what we saw was the face of our enemies of the past. Stalin. Mao, and Hitler. In very subtle ways Obama and Holder are a bit of each,put them together and you have totalitarism in this country.

I believe you’ve been hoodwinked for a long period of time…Hoodwinked is another term for Dementia..

Can you actually look in the mirror and say he did not lie and that what this adminstration is doing is good for the country?

legal eagle

Who lied and why do I care when a politician lies? This administration has done a great job cleaning up Bush’s mess, getting us out of Iraq, passing healthcare for all Americans and doubling the value of my stock portfolio….

Drew Page

“Why do I care when a politician lies?” You, and people like you, are the reason this country is so screwed up. If you don’t care when politicians lie to you , do you care when a client lies to you, or a witness, or a judge?
I’ve got news for you. We aren’t out of Iraq, or Afghanistan. We aren’t out of Libya or Egypt, or Syria. Guantanamo is still open and operating. Passing health care for all Americans? Where are all the insurance exchanges for those who have lost their benefits due to being cutback to part-time status or losing their jobs? Their insurance is gone TODAY, where are the exchanges TODAY? I seem to remember that Obamacare was not going to increase the federal income taxes of anyone making less than $200,000 a year. Going back a little further, I remember when Obama said Obamacare wasn’t going to be paid for by taxes. Maybe you don’t mind paying more taxes to provide health insurance to those who can’t or won’t pay for their own, after all, you’ve got that big stock portfolio. I do all I can to provide for my own family; let everyone else do the same.
Bush’s mess? After five years you are still blaming Bush? How cliché. Obama added more to the national debt in four years than Bush did in eight. Five years and we still don’t have a budget. the three budgets Obama submitted didn’t get a single Democrat vote. the House has submitted several suggested budgets to the Senate and Harry Reid declares them all ‘dead on arrival'; he won’t even schedule them for debate. without a budget Obama feels he can’t be held accountable for living within a budget.

legal eagle

I see you have your talking points down pat…By the way, Who pays for your health insurance? What’s your premium? I only care when people lie under oath….and people lie under oath every day of the week…..
You are only against Obamacare because you probably don’t pay for health insurance and don’t care that millions are abusing the system by using emergency rooms as their primary care facility.

dave davies

All of this goes back to the problems of a deteriorating society. We started losing back in the 60’s. The slow response to the drug culture and the loss of basic morality. Had we hit these issues hard, we wouldn’t be in the fix we are today. The 60’s radicals are today’s morally deficient liberal leaders and their warped offspring. Generational welfare and food stamps and section 8. These are the people Obama and his ilk love. The lazy, disfunctional underachievers of our society. When this country was first colonized, if you didn’t work you didn’t eat. These aren’t the sick, the mentally challenged, the unemployable. Those people are what government aid was for, but the huge majority of welfare and goverment aid goes to people who have destroyed themselves through drugs or alcohol, or pure laziness.

legal eagle

Culture changes, morality changes and society changes. As a successful “child of the sixties” all I can suggest is that you listen to Bob Dylan’s song from 50 years ago in which he states that “the times they are a changing”.
You want to live in the past with the older generation and fear change be my guest. You can stare at the old guys, like O’Reilly and Limbaugh telling you about how great the good old days were.

dave davies

You missed my point. We are losing the battle by allowing our focus to be on helping the non-producers in our nation. The more we cater to their wants, the more needy they become. We have decided to take more money from the workers so cell phones and rent and health care can be free for people who will never be anything productive. These people need to sink or swim. If they sink, we won’t miss them.

plsilverman

non-producers? who? the construction workers kept home systematically by the House in their refusal to look at Infrastructure bills & their encouragement to governors to send back stimulus $$ and decline on infrastructure contracts; to encourage more corporate raids of viable American companies? R U kidding? by the way, that 47% included a lot of people who fought the manufactured War in Iraq.
how can blue collar produce when their companies close down and they are sent to the unemployment office..and their jobs are sent overseas?

plsilverman

ya mean that 47% incl. skilled construction workers systematically denied work because of the Boehner/McConnell war on the workforce – essentially the Obama base? The same Americans who fight the manufactured wars and cover tax loopholes for multi-millionaires?

dave davies

No, I meant what I meant. Do you twist people’s words for a living, or is this just a hobby. I am going to try ignoring you, since you don’t really say anything of substance. Anybody else with me?

plsilverman

when did the blue collar force suddenly get lazy? and where’s the “twist”?

plsilverman

…plus those totally “dysfunctional” Americans who stood in line 8 hours in swing states, defying Voter Suppression, to vote for their candidate?

plsilverman

Bush II said no new taxes and essentially so did Clinton. were they “liars”? you would say so, right? Re. AFCA, Obama said NO taxes to support it….well, it turned out there were about 18 taxes for the “very rich” to cover over a TEN YEAR PERIOD and to raise 30,000,000,000 dollars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no Obama budgets…my take: with 450 filibusters and about 150 clotures and a vey obvious war against Obama’s base by the (once) GOP, those Libs say, what’s the point? PLUS, Boehner would NOT LOOK at Obama’s incredibly huge deficit reduction package which attacked the Big 3.

USA Rocks

The only healthcare he passed for all Americans are for the ones who can’t afford it now, meaning the ones already on welfare. The rest of us will be paying for them. It’s just another welfare program he BSed you into.

plsilverman

no. 30,000,000 newly insured include mostly those who used to have to sell their homes to cover an operation; those who want to pay a premium for their cancer coverage but are deemed too expensive.

How about no new taxes,how about no increase in health ins premiums, a transparent govt, no lobbeist in my adminstration . Want me to go on idiot

plsilverman

no new taxes at all for 95% of us. Obama apologetically suggested we go back to 39.6% and yes he put a lot of taxes for the “very rich” to pay in AFCA…over a 10 yr. period to raise 30 billion dollars.

really? as “political” as MSNBC might be, you gonna compare them to Foxnews, 24-7 nitpick on Obama? With half the Bush II adm. on hand to rewrite his legacy, saying stuff like the Gulf spill was “Obama’s Katrina”? Read the FOX EFFECT and see the OUTFOXED! DVD.
what is this “troll” business, all over this site and so many other fair and balnced sites?
now, you still did not provide one single fact, or semi-fact. all we get is “tigers ” and “trolls”.

1940voter

Watch Fox and then MSNBC during the day. Fox ,news and MSNBC, liberal opinions Facts my friend. Always back to Bush, don’t you guys ever get tired of that line? Obama has been in office 5 yrs ,it’s his deal.he owns it,it’s his responsibility. it’s his policies. Obamacare a fiasco. Obama and his minions know its a failure or else why so many exemptions especially for unions? We know it’s a fialure.

plsilverman

MSNBC has always referred back to Cheney-Bush, yes – but they are considered criminals by a lot of Americans and America’s friends. Still, no comparison to Fox: they are petty nitpickers since 01-20-09. Read THE FOX EFFECT and the 24-7 OBAMA HATE MACHINE. they employ a ton of Bush II adm. people obviously to help rewrite his legacy. MSNBC is greatly improved – Maddow and Shultz deliver well-researched material…both are very courteous to GOP guests. Yes, Fox has shown signs of late of being the fair and balanced station it was (pretty much) up to say, 2004. And they do have Chris Wallace do his thing. And sometimes Baier and O’Reilly get mad at the parrot puppets they have to deal with. O’Reilly told malkin to take a hike; got totally fed up with Palin. I once saw him tell Ingraham to get off that ideologue tip on his show! it was great!!! Fox has thebig bux behind them – and about 350 35 year old blonde women in front of them – and yes, for a very professional delivery of “neutral” news they are fine. Forgot to mention, Ailes can impress by kicking out Beck and by temporarily kicking out Rove and Morris after their blunders. AND after Mrs. Giffords got show….he told his people/hosts to be more professional and literate. I recommend watching Maddow and O’Donnell and Chris Hayes and also watching Wallace on the weekend and O’Reilly for 5-10 minutes per nite.

1940voter

MSNBC is the administration talking points on steroids–gives one an enema after 5 min–if you really watch that you need help

More whining and victimization from Bernie Goldberg….When Congress was after Alberto Gonzalez for lying I don’t recall hearing a peep out of Bernie…

Sounds like more whining from you. Why not give a comment with some substance rather than attack the writer.

DonaldYoungsRevenge

Bernie and Bill O’Reilly have attempted to cover for this Fraud more times than I can count. With these present day scandals it seems it is too much for Bernie and Bill to ignore. They have go out of their way to slander and call people names who dare speak about the fraud and criminal activity that has been going on with Barack H. Obama right in the middle of it. There is a two year on going criminal investigation that has been on the fast track as of late and neither Bernie nor Bill nor anyone at Fox who has ever mentioned the investigation. The investigation is focused on three fraudulent documents that Obama has been using to enable him to remain in power. He is Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in the world for crying out loud and they deem this investigation not worthy of any coverage. This has got to blow your mind, right? Damn right I am whining and attacking the writer, he has a platform and refuses to use it. Telling us that the press won’t touch it is a very lame excuse for not functioning as a journalist. Do you job and let the readers/listeners decide.
There is a good chance I will be shut down before Bernie gives a valid excuse for not covering this scandal of the century.

You didn’t answer the question. Can you tell me if Bernie Goldberg called for Alberto Gonzalez’s resignation for “lying” to Congress?

joer1

The amazing thing to me is how after 5 years in office, Obama is not held responsible for anything. He continues his perpetual “campaign” and never actually “governs” or takes a position on anything. It’s like all those times he voted “present” in the Illinois Legislature. The media is ok with it and his supporters are ok with it. Not just the uneducated supporters but, also the wealthy, educated elites who support him. No one cares about he country, they only seem to care about their progressive agenda. It reminds me of when Bill Clinton was found to have abused countless women, the women’s groups were silent because he was advancing their agenda … so, they really didn’t care about the women … they only cared about their “agenda”. Today, the Liberals don’t care about the lying, the incompetence, the attacks upon the media, the IRS being “used” for politics, the “gun-running” and the assaults upon our personal freedoms and the U.S. Constitution … they only care about advancing the agenda. I wonder how good their memory will be when they are out of power.

Bush got Congress’s approval on the Iraq war. I think it was a mistake, but he did not act alone.
Obama takes no credit for negative things. Even if he did not cause these things personally, he is a lousy leader for not standing up and saying he is responsible, firing people under him and correcting mistakes.
Let’s face it, Obama thought being President was going to one big love-fest party. He hates having to deal with negative issues other than talk on TV and get his picture taken.

It is Sad very Sad. whats worse Democrat Jose Serrano wants to amend the 22nd Amendment which will let Obama continue to run & be elected, This will turn him into Kim Jong-un.

domremy03

Thanks Ron, for saying what I’ve been thinking.

plsilverman

gets away with what? 450 filibusters?

Wheels55

His supporters care only if Obama embarrasses them. As soon as Obama started using words like “enemy” to refer to folks that disagree with him, people took sides. When people take sides they have a hard time switching over. A cleaver strategy from Obama. So, all he has to do is not embarrass people on his side and they will forgive everything.
Other Presidents tried to be fair and be a President for all. Most people only took sides on issues, not the President himself. It’s easy to switch loyalties that way. Again, Obama may not be much of a President, but he is a very good politician by keeping his popularity up (while the GOP tries to figure itself out).
Obama will sell Holder out in a heartbeat.

PeterFitzwell

This entire administration makes The Nixon adimiistration look like a few Boy Scouts who stole a candy bar.

I think you’re wrong Bernie on the part where we have to rely on late night comedies to have Holder ousted. Our country has come to a lull where many individuals do not care, or even are aware of what’s going on in this country, but I don’t believe it’s come so far that Jon Stewart and Jay Leno are the movers and shakers that will lead to the downfall of corrupt politicians. I think Holder will be out by end of June.

Ted Crawford

It seems to me that this was intended to be a multi-purpose attack.
Firstly, it was a “shot-across-the-bow” to the Media in general and the individule Journalist specifically, “We will Strike Back”! They, wisely, used a Conservative Network, and a Conservative Journalist, to set the example.
Secondly, Obama gets to pass, yet another redundant law! Apparently, to protect Journalists from….well HIMSELF!
Remember Emanuel, ” never let a good crisis go to waste” That would go double if you were the one who created it in the first place!

Tom Kean, that Commee, told Sean to his kisser. “Fabulous progressives” – yeah, we got a lot of explaining to do: Child Labor Laws, de-segregation, Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Women’s Rights, Unemployment for when the Hard Right decides to send blue collar jobs overseas.

I keep coming up with the mental picture of being handed a brightly colored jumpsuit for some reason.

Ted Crawford

That question will undoubtedly be attacked with Semantics! Within the next few days and weeks, I expect a hugh War of Words to begin!
” Holder correctly stated that he was unaware of any “potential prosecution”! All Mr. Holder authorized was an “Investigation” to determine if there were any grounds for prosecution”!
While no reasonably intelligent person will be fooled by this obfuscation, it will suffice for the Progressive mainstream. Of course the MSM is rarely actually ‘fooled’, given the fact that they have been complicit, up to now, I’m betting they will easily buy in !

Now if Holder so blatantly can lie about this issue what about all the other issues? Like Fast and Furious did he also lie about that? I think with this revelation no citizen will have any faith in the DOJ as Holder has placed a really dark cloud of mistrust over the agency and therefore must go.

Gblandy you are measuring our country by your values. As are Republicans, Conservative and Tea Parties. The Progressives do not believe in those values and ignore them.

how do you KNOW what Holder was doing?

Dennis

Virtually all of the media is missing what may be the most significant point of this entire affair. If Eric Holder signed an affidavit, which I understand he did, to support the DOJ’s attempt to obtain a subpoena or search warrant for James Rosen’s records, he committed perjury no different than if he had been put on a witness stand, swore to tell the truth and then blatantly lied in court.

The affidavit that the DOJ used to obtain the subpoena was filled with lies, not the least of which was their claim that Rosen was being considered for criminal prosecution. They never intended to prosecute him, they used this canard to mislead a federal judge to obtain an illegal, invalid subpoena and, if Holder, or whoever it was, signed it, that person should be disbarred and jailed.

If memory serves me correctly, and I may be wrong about this but I don’t believe so, this is precisely what caused the State of Arkansas to disbar the convicted Liar-In-Chief, Bill Clinton.

Exactly. Affidavits are sworn documents.

Obviously Eric With-Holder LIED! Even a first year Law Student could prosecute this case and prevail. Holder should be removed from office and be imprisoned awaiting trial. He is a Traitor to the Republic of America and Her People.

He has broken many laws since his enshrinement as the Marxist Enemy Attorney General such as: Gun Walking, Accomplice to Murder of Americans & Mexicans, Cover ups, Voter Discrimination, Voter Fraud, Spying on Innocent Americans and Lying to Congress.

The Stench of his Crimes stinks so bad that even the Russians mock us. He is willfully destroying our beloved USA.
